Cartoon/Western Animation General

@ghostfacekiller39  
As good as Ducktales is, it’s pretty inferior to the comics it was spawned from.

I have not read the comics, unfortunately.

@Dashu  

 
From what I’ve read of Don Rosa’s work, I would definitely have to agree on that front. I really can’t think of a comic arc that’s better than The Life & Times of Scrooge McDuck.
 
I haven’t read the stuff before his time, though, sadly.

@Sliperoo  
i’ve seen both cartoons but i prefer the new one better. maybe it’s i was too young to remember the first one though (just bits and pieces, nothing really stood out)

@OptimusPrimevil  
Which cartoon? Are you referring to Thundercats?

@Sliperoo  
yeah…should’ve specified it in the first post but yeah, thundercats.
 
really sucks they pulled the plug before the story was finished.
 
they might’ve actually done the silverhawks/tigersharks crossover for real.

@OptimusPrimevil  
Yeah, I can see that. I don’t know why they stopped it, though. Not like I care, the original was much better.

@Sliperoo  
not sure if ratings or poor merchandise sales.

@OptimusPrimevil  
It was both, actually, if this source is correct: https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20130815094445AAH44mE

@Sliperoo  
i have a beef with one of the comments about ripping off (almost everything under the sun) other stuff.
 
mainly its “i hate it so: rip-off but if i like it: it’s a homage”
 
reminds me too much of the star wars crowd.

@OptimusPrimevil  
I can relate. It wasn’t really ripping off anything that I could see, it just took the plot in the wrong direction is all.

@ghostfacekiller39  
Ducktales? never heard of it.

@Sliperoo  
i wonder if the people who are saying it’s too dark have seen the image comics thundercats (the one where wilykit and wilykat are mumm-ra “personal” slaves and cheetara was…used by the mutants repeatedly)

@OptimusPrimevil  
thats fucked up

@angrybrony  
lion-o went inside the book of omens to learn about their history but mumm-ra messed with the book so there’s no time dilation (lion-o spent 5 years inside the book, thinking when he comes out a second has passed. mumm-ra took over during the 5 years)
 
who knew he was bi though…  

 
then there’s this shot
 
relax, it’s not panthro (so who is it?)

So I’m rewatching W.I.T.C.H…
 
 
Primus help me…

@SquiggyBomb  
It can’t be THAT bad. Greg Weisman was involved in the 2nd season.

@Virgil Stormblade
 
And then it was cancelled after that, presumably on a cliffhanger, since Weisman seems to be cursed to never have a show go beyond two seasons. And no, “The Goliath Chronicles” does not count.

@Virgil Stormblade  
W.I.T.C.H. is one of those things I remember from way back in the day. In the early days of the Jetix block. And for those of you who don’t know, Jetix was sort of like Toonami. I remember it airing cartoons like W.I.T.C.H., Get Ed, Dragon Booster, and many seasons of Power Rangers.

@SquiggyBomb  
So a less cool Toonami.

@SquiggyBomb  
didn’t they air s.h.r.m.t.h.f.g?

@Virgil Stormblade  
Hell no. Jetix kicked ass.
 
@angrybrony  
Yes. Yes it did.

@angrybrony
 
Which was cancelled basically right before the final battle against the Skeleton King was supposed to happen because Toon Disney/Jetix was replaced by Disney XD.

@Jarkes  
Come to tink of it, A LOT of shows on the Jetix block bombed super hard.

@SquiggyBomb  
i actually really liked jetix.
